Situated on the breathtaking Wild Coast, the Lodge is nestled in one of the most beautiful locations in South Africa. An eco-friendly, Fair Trade certified, affordable, multi-night destination for backpackers and cultural wanderers of this Earth.

The Bulungula Lodge sustains local culture and the planet, and is 100% owned and managed by the vibrant, traditional Nqileni village, a Xhosa community.

Please make sure to check our directions before coming here.

We offer accommodation in our traditional Xhosa rondavels, as private rooms or backpacker dormitories, or the campground, or in our newly constructed forest cabins. No matter which one you choose, they all have one thing in common: you will fall asleep and wake up to the beautiful sound of the waves.

Something different happens every day. Go fishing with local fishermen, experience traditional culture on our village tours, learn to drum or join a guided hike along the coast! All these businesses are 100% owned and run by members of the local community so your money goes where it’s most needed.
